Ethiopia’s Tigray War Is Fueling Amhara Expansionism

Abiy Ahmed depends on the support of ethnic Amhara leaders and militias whose goal is to reconquer what they consider lost territories—from Tigray to Sudan.

Why do Western media keep romanticize Tigreyga? They used to invite the late dictator, Sanaawi, to their conferences, too. Not Abiy Axmed.

Who wants another 100 million plus raising third world country,  break them before they get too powerful. 

Ethiopia can become China in AFRICA

Amhara need to take advantage of this situation. If they don't, Tigray and Oromo will form a union which will put them in the backseat again. The way I see it, Amahara see it like this; either they expand or it's going to be Derg 2.0

Ethnic expansion is probably intended for a future country nothing else. Amhara ethnic groups do not want to leave inside Tigray region, or vice versa. Oromo want to cleanse all Amhara from their region, so does the Ben Shanguli and others.

If if we don't wise up and put our hoses in order, even we Somalis might flow that TPLF designed system of clan/ethnic  federalism where every one is condemned to stay in his/her village. We are nomads for God sake, and have to roam the land.

Though anything can happen, I don't think Somalis will find in Ethiopia's situation in terms of self-segregation. We would be more like Southwest [Bay and Bakool] which literally hosts most Somali clans, a melting pot. Puntland for instance is now more diverse than it has ever been. Members of southern clans that moved up there during the civil war are now there for two generations.

The issue is political representation. Deni was smart enough to say every Somali citizen can vote and run for office.
